Quotes

"People, governments and economies of all nations must serve the needs of multinational banks and corporations." Zbigniew Brzezinski.

"We are going to have a war on terror which you can never win, and so you can always keep taking people's liberties away. The media is going to convince everybody that the war on terror is real. The ultimate goal is to get everybody in the world chipped with an RFID chip, and have all money be on the chips, and if anyone wants to protest what we do, we turn off the chip."

Nicholas Rockefeller to producer Aaron Russo - eleven months before the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, taken from here

Corruption

I almost switched off because she started going on about some guy in Turkmenistan, but I fastforward and found that she was moving in the right direction. And she ended by putting the blame squarely on the shoulders of the British people for allowing it to happen – subsitite US, Europe, NATO etc.

But look at the stereotype implication she began with. If no-one is going to pay then there is no corruption, the source of corruption is those with the money. Then my mind moves to neo-colonialism and how monopoly capitalism moves the prices down for coffee, bananas etc. It’s not surprising oil-rich despots take advantage because that is what normally happens in reverse.

The real TED question to be asked is why so many TED listeners do not know that the problem starts in their countries and not with the governments of the 3rd World. Nor do they know that many of these “corrupt” 3rd world leaders were put in place by western governments – the puppets of western corporatocracy.
